Geological Interpretation
Visualize and interact with data during the whole process of modeling and estimating the resources. Quickly conduct actualization of the model and analyze the results in 3D for optimization of the work and decision making process.
Deposit Block Modeling
The block modeling module allows you to create accurate and flexible deposit models using sub-blocking for maximum detail of complex geological structures. The intuitive interface simplifies the adjustment of block parameters, ensuring high precision when accounting for ore body and waste boundaries.
With the ability to save the model in a separate file, this solution significantly speeds up project work, reducing system load and increasing performance. The module supports multitasking, enabling simultaneous work on multiple projects and easy integration with other modules for comprehensive data analysis
Stratigraphic Field Modeling
Set up a chronological sequence of strata and structural elements for automatic block modeling of strata. Use strata modeling and correlation algorithms for offset or eroded strata, overturned limbs of a fold, or other disrupted bedding.
Use the functionality for populating a block model with attributes, subblocking, axis rotation, domain highlighting, percentage representation, and forward and backward integration of a block model with solids and wireframe surfaces.
Implicit and Explicit Geological and Resource Modeling
K-MINE offers both implicit and explicit simulation. Implicit modeling involves creating surfaces and solids using the Radial Basis Functions method.
Identify trends and create numerical models and models of domains, ore bodies, faults, or veins. Create optimal wireframe surfaces from a variety of linear or non-linear interpolators.
Personal Geo Assistant
The K-MINE: Geology is designed to meet all the operational needs, with prompts at every stage of your project analysis – from exploration and database creation through geological modeling, and resource estimation to decision-making related to additional exploration, closure, or reclamation.
Resource Estimation
Estimate your mineral resources accurately based on your geological model using variography, domain statistics, and grade interpolation by NN (Nearest Neighbor), IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted), Simple, Ordinary, Lognormal, Kriging, External Drift Kriging, and other methods.
Generate accurate resource estimates and reports under JORC, NI 43-101, SAMREC, SK-1300, etc. Define the accuracy of your resource estimation using a set of tools for model validation.
Quality Assurance
QA tools will help identify anomalies and errors, which aids in minimizing risks during resource assessment and decision-making. The module includes checks for data integrity and consistency, such as validating well databases and block model data.
This way, data quality is maintained at a high level, ensuring successful project execution.
Sections and Projections
Create detailed cross-sections that reflect complex geological structures, layers, and tectonic features. With integration into the block model, users can easily correlate data while analyzing spatial relationships and resource estimation.
This module provides a deep understanding of the deposit’s geology, facilitating informed decision-making throughout the development process.
Data Integration and Management
Upload geology data, points clouds, and block models from *.xlsx, *.mdb, *.las or *.csv files, respectively. Directly import and export *.dxf, *.str, *.dm, *.dat, *.dtm, and *.3ds objects from third-party software and download shapefiles. Upload bitmap images of geology maps, sections, and surface plans.
Create and Manage Databases
The multifunctional mechanism for creating the relational structure of a database in K-MINE pools sampling, drilling, geophysical, geochemical, hydrogeological, and other data in a single environment and visualizes the data dynamically in the form of histograms, points, curves, cylinders, or text values in 3D for modeling.
Correlate the parameters easily, identify extreme values, analyze histograms, Q-Q plots, and box plots, and decluster and composite data. Minimize the risks of database errors with automatic validation and error correction.
Work with Maps and Surfaces
Automatically convert various coordinate systems and download images from Google Maps into the K-MINE environment. You can also import and export coordinates from and to CSV and KML formats.
Upload data from various sources, including ground-penetrating radar images, to create detailed maps that display layers, mineral composition, and other important characteristics. The intuitive interface allows for quick adjustment of map parameters, adding annotations, and visualizing changes in the deposit’s structure.
Report Preparation
Generate project evaluation reports at any stage, from Exploration Results to DFS.
Export calculation and modeling results easily in any format you need as tabular data, charts and graphs, 2D images, or 3D models, and share your insights with your colleagues when making project decisions.
